Vehicle crash with moose - Abdominal contusions



Recommended Posts

Last night I hit a moose on the turnpike on the way home. Abdominal contusions and abrasions near port site. CT scan in ER showed nothing happened to band or port. God was watching over me for sure! Car totaled. Have to go and buy a new car. Check out the damage. Boy am I sore all over.

I am glad to hear you are alright! So did you at least get the moose meat?

What kind of car was that? Looks like it did a pretty good job of absorbing the impact.

Oh how terrifying! You'll probably be nervous about driving for weeks now. Thank GOD you are OK! I know that a lot of people die here where I am when they hit deer with their cars. Wow. :omg:

The state trooper asked me if I wanted to take the moose meat home. No way, it was pretty badly mangled. I was driving a Honda CR-V. Thank God I had a good car - if I had been in my VW Beetle, I would probably not be here. I am going to buy another Honda CR-V -- it saved my life!

Oh my god, you are lucky to be ALIVE!! Thank goodness you weren't hurt more seriously.

I hear you about the Honda CR-V. I had a piece of metal junk fall off a truck and land square on my windshield a while back, totally destroying it and almost going through into my face. The windshield held, though. That is one strong car!!

Thank god you are okay, that looks like it was a terrible accident! You must have been freaked out!

Seriously, they offered you the meat? I guess I'm too much of a city girl, I have never heard of that before...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
